Smokies are really cool, I can't get out of Pigeon Forge fast enough though.
Lexington is pretty cool. It's a beautiful state.

Lots of country music bars within walking distance of the hotel. Lots of hipsters with man buns and neck beards. We were only there for one night.

Parents moved us to Kansas when we were still young solely for the purpose of getting away from all of the tourists and, yes, racist family members. All in all, its a beautiful place if you're into hiking the mountains, enjoying the outdoors, and are only going to be there for a few days.

On another note (and which conveniently happens to be the thread topic), I recently got news that ol' Wiff is going to be a dad. Pray for my soul.

I hope you didn't go to Kid Rock's bar...lol. I dated a girl years ago that loves Kid Rock and we went to Nashville a couple times. After 2 days, I was over it, kind of like Vegas. I don't really get the appeal of Nashville, although I do like "some" country music, but mostly older country from the late 70's-early 90's.

Yeah and the wanna be hipster crowd is annoying, but whatever. Every time I see a neck beard I think, god, that looks so uncomfortable and sweaty and itchy.

Actually, it was a Valentine's night. We dropped the kids off at the big basketball arena and went out to find someplace to have dinner. With no reservations. Bad idea, I ended up in the hospital a few days later, probably with food poisoning from a bad oyster.
